About Silvernail Plumbing Heating & Cooling

Honest Work. Local Roots. Real Results.

Serving Oklahoma City Since 1921


     
In Central Oklahoma, plumbing and HVAC problems never show up at a “convenient” time and neither do we. When a leak starts spreading, your furnace won’t keep up, or your AC quits in the middle of a heat wave, you need more than a quick patch. You need a team that shows up prepared, explains what’s going on in plain language, and fixes it the right way.           


    That’s what Silvernail has been built on for generations. We serve homeowners and small businesses across Central Oklahoma with licensed plumbing, heating, and cooling expertise, backed by real-time dispatch, stocked trucks, and a team that respects your home. From urgent repairs to routine maintenance and full system replacements, we focus on clear options, clean work, and solutions that last. When it matters, we’re the one that gets it done.

A Century of Craftsmanship, Built on a Family Name

    Silvernail began in the 1890s with Emery Silvernail in the mechanical trades, and by 1921, Silvernail Plumbing was officially established in Oklahoma City, serving a city that was still growing up, and long before air conditioning was common. Since then, four generations have carried the business forward, each trained in the trades and raised with one standard, do the job right.  Today, we serve Central Oklahoma with the same craftsmanship and integrity, just with faster response, better tools, and a team built for real-world problems. From hand-lettered trucks to a modern fleet with real-time dispatch and stocked vehicles, we’ve evolved with the community while protecting what matters most  quality work, honest recommendations, and respect for your home.
    Whether it’s plumbing, heating, or air, we keep it simple. Clear options, clean work, and results you can trust when it matters.

Meet Jay Silvernail: Fourth-Generation Owner

    Silvernail Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is led by Jay Silvernail, a fourth-generation owner who treats the family name like a responsibility, and not a tagline. Degrees in finance and law, Jay brings both business discipline and long-term stewardship to the company, while staying deeply grounded in Oklahoma City through relationships built over a lifetime. His leadership is built on more than credentials, he’s been around HVAC and plumbing since he was a little boy, learning the trade and the standards behind it from the ground up. He’s known not just for leading the business, but for knowing the community, valuing people, and doing what’s right when it counts.

   

    Our team includes licensed plumbers, certified HVAC technicians, and seasoned office staff, many of whom have been with us for years, some for decades. These are familiar faces across Central Oklahoma. They show up clean, respectful, and prepared, explain your options clearly, and get the job done without the drama. We invest in our people with paid training, professional development, and a culture that values integrity over shortcuts because consistent, high-quality service doesn’t happen by accident.

Serving Our Community Whenever You Need Us

Honest Work. Local Roots. Real Results.

    We’re more than a service company, we’re a local, long standing part of the community here in Central Oklahoma. That means supporting local schools, working alongside trusted manufacturers like Trane, American Standard, Bosch, Delta, Aprilaire, Rheem, and Ruud, and stepping up when our neighbors need dependable help.

   

     You’ll see our trucks throughout northwest Oklahoma City and across the region, serving homeowners and small businesses with the same priorities every time, comfort, safety, and honest solutions. Through every season, we’re committed to being the team you can call with confidence, no hesitation, no runaround, just service done right and when it’s time for an upgrade, we help you choose equipment you can trust, often with warranty options up to 10 years for long-term peace of mind.

Working Here Feels Different for a Reason

New Title

    We don’t just want good technicians, we want proven professionals and the right people behind them. If you’re a licensed journeyman who’s tired of rushed work, corner-cutting, or a company that treats people like numbers, Silvernail may be the change you’ve been looking for, if you’re an apprentice hungry to learn the trade the right way or reliable office support who keeps customers cared for and crews organized, then you’ll fit right in. We hire for character first, integrity, accountability, and respect because skill only matters when it’s backed by pride in the craft.

    At Silvernail, you’re not asked to “just get through it.” You’re supported with a team that communicates, leadership that values quality over shortcuts, and a culture built on doing what’s right for the customer and the team. When you start, we provide paid onboarding and training, along with mentorship and licensing support as needed, so you can settle in fast, work confidently, and be proud of the work you put your name on.


If you’re looking for a place where your work is respected and your growth is supported, we’d love to talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long has Silvernail Plumbing, Heating & Cooling served Oklahoma City?

    Silvernail has been operating in Oklahoma City since 1921, but our story goes back even further—Emery Silvernail began working in the mechanical trades in the 1890s. Today, we’re one of the oldest continuously running plumbing and HVAC companies in the state. Our legacy stretches across generations of homes and families, and we’re still based right here in the metro, serving neighborhoods from Moore to Edmond to Northwest OKC.

  • Is Silvernail still a family-owned business?

    Yes—Silvernail is proudly owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Silvernail family. Jay Silvernail leads the company today with the same values his great-grandfather founded it on: integrity, reliability, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Unlike corporate chains or out-of-town contractors, we live and work in the same communities we serve, and that matters to us.

  • What does Silvernail’s training program include for new hires?

    We believe better-trained techs deliver better service. That’s why every Silvernail team member gets at least 12 paid training days per year, covering everything from new code updates and equipment handling to customer communication and field safety. Our mentorship model ensures new technicians learn from seasoned pros—not just in the classroom, but in real homes across Oklahoma City. It’s all part of building a stronger, more trusted team.

  • Why should I choose Silvernail over a newer HVAC company?

    Experience matters—especially in plumbing and HVAC. We’ve seen it all: historic homes with cast iron pipes, outdated electric panels, tricky ductwork configurations, and every seasonal weather pattern Oklahoma throws our way. More than that, we’ve earned trust through consistency. Our long-term customers call because they know who’s showing up, what it will cost, and that we’ll stand behind the work. That kind of reliability doesn’t come overnight—it’s built over a century.

Our success isn’t just measured in installs—it’s measured in the trust we’ve earned across the Oklahoma City metro.
